The Europe and Central Asia Regional Synthesis for The State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture summarizes the state of biodiversity for food and agriculture in the region, based largely on information provided in nineteen country reports submitted to FAO as part of the reporting process for the report on The State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture. Biodiversity for food and agriculture is the diversity of plants, animals and micro-organisms at genetic, species and ecosystem levels, present in and around crop, livestock, forest and aquatic production systems. It is essential to the structure, functions and processes of these systems, to livelihoods an...
V knjigi (izšla je kot CD-ROM) je 37 poglavij na temo naravnih nesreč v Sloveniji. Poglavja so razdeljena v sklope Vrednotenje naravnih nesreč, Preventiva pred naravnimi nesrečami ter Ukrepanje in obvladovanje naravnih nesreč. Prispevki bralca seznanjajo z različnimi primeri naravnih nesreč, preventivnimi ukrepi ter ravnanju ob neljubih dogodkih. Zaradi izjemno širokega kroga avtorjev so dobrodošlo branje za vsakogar, ki ga zanimajo naravne nesreče.
V knjigi je štirinajst poglavij s področja naravnih nesreč. V poglavjih so opisana raziskovalna spoznanja ter primeri uporabe sodobnih tehnologij v primeru naravnih nesreč, s poudarkom na domačih odzivih na globalne izzive. Knjiga vsebuje različne teme, kot so na primer potresi, suše, vročinski valovi, poplave, snežni plazovi ter odzivanje in komuniciranje v primeru naravnih nesreč.

Insect and disease issues are often specific to the Mediterranean forest systems rather than shared with the temperate forests. In addition to the specific native insects and diseases, the forests are subject to the invasion of exotic species. The forests are also at risk from high degrees of human activity, including changing patterns of forest fires, land management activities, intensive plantation forestry using introduced timber species from other Mediterranean climate zones, and atmospheric deposition. Combined with elements of global climate change that may disproportionately affect Mediterranean climate systems, this creates a number of significant management issues that are unique to the Mediterranean forests. It is our goal that the information contained in this volume will contribute to understanding the unique aspects of Mediterranean forest systems and to protecting these critical resources.
Bark Beetles: Biology and Ecology of Native and Invasive Species provides a thorough discussion of these economically important pests of coniferous and broadleaf trees and their importance in agriculture. It is the first book in the market solely dedicated to this important group of insects, and contains 15 chapters on natural history and ecology, morphology, taxonomy and phylogenetics, evolution and diversity, population dynamics, resistance, symbiotic associations, natural enemies, climate change, management strategies, economics, and politics, with some chapters exclusively devoted to some of the most economically important bark beetle genera, including Dendroctonus, Ips, Tomicus, Hypothe...
